STORIES OF WESTERN LIFE.
How a Cowboy Justice of the Peace
Administered the Law.
From the London Spectator.

From the London Spectator.
His experience of Western life is as racy
as volume of Bret Harte. Take the fol-
lowing, for instance: At prairie town not
far from his ranch, as distances go in the
West, there is State court of first instance,
presided over by one Roy Bean, Justice of
the Peace, who is also the owner of the
principal grocery. Some cowboys had been
drinking at the grocery one night, with the
result that one of them remained on the
floor, but with sense enough left to lie on the
side of the pocket where he kept his dollars.
In the morning it appeared that he had been
''rolled"-Anglice, turned over and his
pocket picked-whereupo a court was
called to try man on whom suspicion
rested. Roy Bean sat on barrel, swore in
jury, and then addressed the prisoner
thus: Now, you give that man his money
back" The culprit, who had sent for the
lawyer of the place to defend him, hesitated
for a moment, and then pulled out the
money. "You treat this crowd, were Roy's
next words; and while drinks roundn were
| handed to the delighted cowboys at the
prisoners expense Roy pulled out his watch
and went on: ~ ou've got just five minutes
to clear out of this town, and if ever you
come in again we'll hang you" The cul-
prit made off just as his lawyer came up,
who demonstrated with Roy, explaining
that the proper course would have been to
have heard the charge, committed the
prisoner, and sent him to the county town
for trial. "And go OFF sixty miles and hang
round with the boys [witnesseSl for you to
pull the skunk through aud touch the dol
lars!' said Roy, Scornfully; whereupon the
lawyer disappeared in pursuit of his client
and unpaid zee

Roy's formula--"Now you give that man

his practice IS not without its seamv side.
When the railway was making, two men
came i'll from one of the gangs for warrant.
A brutal murder had been committed. Roy
told his clerk the boy in the grocery, he be-
ing no penman himself to make out the

THE CRAZY ROMANOFFS.
The Mental Disease Which Afhicts the
Russian Imperial Family.
From London Socsety.

From London Society,"
In the recently published memoirs Of
Count Vitzthum, of Eckstadt, proofs are
given of the hereditary character Of the
mental disease which afflicted the imperial
family of Russia. All the sons of Car
Paul l., like that unhappy monarch himself,
who was murdered in 1901, became subject
to fits of insanity Paul |. had four sons
Gar Alexander l.. the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, Gar Nicolas l., and the Grand
Duke Michael. Every one Of them after his
45th year, exhibited undoubted signs OF
mental arrangement. This was not fully
discovered in the case of Nicolas |. until after
the Cars death An English physician,
| however, the Count says, noticed the ap-
pearance of the hereditary disease III the
Car as early as July. 1858, and he then
predicted that the monarch had not more
than two years of life before him. This he
stated in a letter to Lord Palmerston. The
Emperor Nicolas died in March, 1850, about
four months earlier than the date predicted.
The Count appears to have no doubt that
the Crinean war, so far as it depended
| on Nicolas, was the rash act of
! ruler whose mental equipose was
disturbed" None of the four sons
of Paul |. lived to be 90 years of age, and
every one of them suffered from concus-
| sion Of the brain after reaching his 45th
| year. Alexander died at As, miserable
man, moody and respondent, as Prince Met
ternich has painted him, tired of existence"
His brother, the Grand Duke Constantine,
| though not manifestly insane, gave fire.
quent signs of mental disturbance, of which
Ia was himself SO plainly conscious that he
did not think himself fit to be trusted with
the reins of government His conduct in
the year 1880, at the outbreak of the revo-
luton in Warsaw, will remain to prove his
mental unsoundness. He had to be intrusted
to the care of his wife, the Princess Lowicz,
who was cautioned the same way as is
physician in charge of a patient having
Intermittent fits of insanity. He died in
his sd year from congestion of the brain.
The Grand Duke Michael was killed by
fall from his horse at the age of As. Some
years before his death he had exhibited signs
of undoubted mental disease, and his physi-
clans declared that he was on the road to
certain insanity The events of lS4S 50
were not calculated to allay the hereditary
dispositions of the imperial family of Rus.
STA, but to excite and intensity them. There
is something terrible in the contrast between
the outward position of the Gar Nicolas,
upon the bent of whose will the fate of mil
lions in Europe was depending, and the al
legged diseased inward condition of his mind.

Sharpshooters in Mexico.

From the NeiO York Tribune.
The victories won by the United States
troops in Mexico years ago have generally
been ascribed to the superior fighting quail
ties OF the Americans over the Mexicans.
But Capt. Lester S. Bartlett, of the Spencer
Rife Company who was recently in Mexico,
mentioned this theory: "An old Mexican
soldier told me that it was the American
sharpshooters that broke up their troops.
All over Mexico you find what are called
arroyas. They are what we would call
gulches, and occur everywhere in the plains.
They have PERCEPTIONS banks, and men
sometimes walk into them without seeing
them. They seem to be the riffs at the bot
tom of a sea, which one day may have
covered the country. The American rifle
men would drop into these arroyas, which
formed natural rlfe-pitS for them, and, hav-
ing superior rifles for those days, were able
to pick off the Mexicans before the latter
got within shooting distance with their bell
mouth guns, The slaughter that resulted
always broke up the Mexicans before they
got within fighting distance

LABOR IN POLITICS.
A National Conference to be Held at
st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 23-The preliminary
arrangements have been made for the hold
ing in this city, about the middle of Decem-
Der of a conference of all the labor political
elements or factions in the country, at
which there will be representatives from all
sections of the Union. The object of the
conference is said TO be to harmonic all
factions of the labor party under one
banner for the campaign next year and
to adopt general platform. Another pur-
pose is TO decide upon new name-one in
which the word labor will not appear. The
National Free Soil Party is the name which
it is thought will be adopted. 1t is expected
that Henry George will be a prominent
figure in the conference, and that it will
adopt his land theories. 1t is also expected
that the conference will fix the date and
place for holding a national nominating
convention If this is done an effort will be
made to have the convention held here.

Wonderful Display of Instinct.

From the Bangor Wing aud Courier.
John Mea, who lives on Eaton court, five
or six weeks ago gave a cat to the captain
of a vessel going to Boston He carried the
cat down in basket and placed it aboard
the vessel, which sailed shortly after. In
Boston the cat made no attempt to leave the
vessel, but seemed to be entirely at home
and contented Last week the vessel re-
way, where it arrived at the wharf at an
early hour in the morning As soon as the
vessel touched the wharf the cat darted
ashore and disappeared. Before Mr.. Mea
had arisen in the morning he heard cat at
the door, and saying to his wife that THAT
sounds like our cat" he got up and opened
the door, when in bounded kitty. apparently
delighted to get home again. How she
knew when she reached Bangor, and how
she found her way back to the house, not
having seen the way she was carried, is
something of which cats only can give an
explanation.

Women Poachers.

From the London Times.
The Ruthin police have made curious
capture. Sergt. Evans and two constables
having reason to suspect the Homecoming
of a gang of well-known poachers, placed
themselves in the highways near the town,
and when the men came along searched
them without result As it was obvious
from the state of their clothes that they had
been poaching, the officers again concealed
themselves, and presently saw three women
crossing the field to place where they re-
manned some time. When they were re-
turning the officers insisted on searching
them. Their intelligence was amply re-
warded, for the women had slung twenty
seven rabbits on three strings and tied them
beneath their dresses. In this way they were
also carrying off two long lengths of rabbit
netting. They, at the outset, protested that
the protuberances were ordinary dress
improvers, but the officers were obdurate,
and at length the twenty seven rabbits were
produced. The women will be brought be-
fore the County Magistrates on the charge
of being in the illegal possession of game.

THE smelling question is agitating
tile mind of Leadville mt the present
time and it is believed that upon the
cSmpletinn of the Midland railroad into
the coal fields Of this section it will be
the means of reviving the smelling in.
dustry of Leadville against Denver
and Pueblo, which are in the valley
where ores of different classes can be
brought together. Therefore it might
be we'll to ask the reason why a smell
ter located down our valley on a line
with the Midland, d. & Il. G. aud
Burlington railrosds would not be
ifnot more profitable than those
in Denver or Pueblo, These lines Of
road will tap the mining districts Of
Leadvill, Aspen. Red Cliff, Middle

coke is here with other necessities to
build up an important smelling center
and with the completion of these rail-
roads we believe the scheme will not
be lost sight Of among men of enter
prize who will enter the field for prof
table investments in these parts.

THE question of how to get money
is engaging the attention of more peo-
pie than the question of how to earn
money. Laws that are general are the
ones to be regarded. There is NJ gen
eral law governing scheming and spec.
ulation. The successful in such mat
tiers are the exceptions. There is a
general law, however, governing the
earning of money and all legitimate
industry. Those who fail to receive
what they earn are unfortunate ex-
ceptions to the general rule and are
very few. The problem is how to earn
money, and this is no easy one. 1t is
simple enough when rightly considered,
but too many people do not compre-
bend that it forms the basis of all sue
cess. No one is entitled to anything
he does not earn, and very few fail to
get that for which they give an equiv
